Maybe this time the Republicans will let President Obama get somethings done without acting like children throwing a tantrum.

*prepares for hell because we're already being told we're going to lose half of our monthly salary to insurance premiums and tax increases*

I really don't see that happening. I think these types of statements were used as scare tactics to sway voters. I may be wrong, though. But I think President Obama will do his very best to see that that does not happen. He wants to see the 1% pay their fair share of taxes and decrease the load on middle and low income Americans, while making sure they have access to quality heathcare.

Umm... not a scare tactic when we're given the paperwork for medical insurance renewal with a 'conditional upon reelection and continuation of Health Care' act statement which says our $350 dollar a month premium while double to $700. That's almost half our salary... we can't live on that.

And that's not even talking about the tax changes... barring a miracle of some kind preventing the fiscal cliff... well, some of us are really screwed over.

I just want to survive the next four years in house and home without worrying about my kidlet having a place to live or my hubby losing his job.

I'm so sorry you've been put in this position. I do hope that the politicians on both sides of the aisle can work together to avoid going over the fiscal cliff. Falling off that cliff would put us right back into a deep recession. I hope they can all be reasonable and put the people ahead of politics.

And that, my friend, will never happen. Government is too divided. Expecting cooperation... that's a mistake.

Of course, I'm a well trained pessimist. I might be wrong but I doubt it.

Hey... the world could end next month and it won't matter anyway.

I agree with merzibelle.

We got insurance renewal at work that is "more in line" with the Health Care act.

It includes my deductable that was previously $250 a year shooting up to $2000 a year. (Among other things including a lower amt of coverage for slightly more money a month.)

Let's hope nothing happens to me healthwise from here on out, because I don't have $2000 to pay on a deductable plus the increased % due after it's reached. It's hard enought to swing the $250 and the % due after.

I officially can't afford to get sick, hurt, or much of anything else.
